cake plate addiction

not only am I addicted to cake, I'm also addicted to buying the adorable little stands on which they're displayed. I've had a crush on cake plates for many years & have slowly added to my collection. I honestly did not realize the amount of cake plates I actually owned until I unpacked them all after moving a few weeks ago. and I found 3 more cakes plates after I took this shot. I need an intervention. 

we bought a house!

guys! I bought my very first house! well, "we" bought a house, but robert's not a property virgin like I am. it was pretty exciting. I can't wait to share the story of how we found this original 1950s gem. we're trying decide if we should start a separate blog to keep up with the house renovations or what. I'll keep you posted. for now, here are a few photos of our move over easter weekend. we are living with my parents right now until the hardwood floors are refinished so all our junk is packed into the garage & florida room. hopefully we'll actually get to move in next weekend! so much to do....

{closing day! we got the keys}

{the penske. a love-hate relationship}

{we filled this puppy up twice}

{thank the lord for robert's friends, brothers & my dad for helping us move!}

{and robert's nephew for doing most of the heavy lifting}

{yup. garage is packed.}

happy (belated) easter

this post is a week late but I hope everyone had a wonderful easter weekend. and thanks to my mom for whipping up an amazing meal and dessert (my kitchenaid is still packed away). and also for making sure the easter bunny still frequents the house every year ;)
